This Saturday, Arcane Publishing and Matt ArtPix are back at Old Spitalfields market in London as part of the So Vintage London fair!Expect the usual range of colourful designs and antiques from Matt and a great selection of second-hand books, ephemera and vintage comics from Arcane Publishing! Of course, I will also have copies of my first novel I Am a Museand for the first time in London and ahead of its official pub date (31st January 2015), I will have copies of my brand new novel The Book of Thoth!

Next week, I will start work again on The Right Place, my third novel. I still have a lot of research to do, but I think it is now time to start with the writing. I have got a writing and publishing schedule for that and I am aiming for a summer 2017 pub date, but I do need to find ways of financing the book and therefore this lovely schedule could quite possibly find itself thrown into complete disarray at any time over the next few months... Next week too, I will be sending a brief to the artist Sam Cannon who has agreed to do the cover of The Right Place. Matt ArtPix has done a mock-up cover for Sam so she has a picture to work with. When it comes back as an original painting by Sam, it will look amazing! I have added below some visuals we are sending to Sam to show you the process. Matt hasn't finalised the font we will be using for the title yet, but it gives a good idea of what it would look like!

This is the original picture.

This is an earlier mock-up using one of Sam's paintings of the Glastonbury Tor. We are going for the same deep blue hues!
